Rossland approves townhouse development permit

Rossland City Council has approved the development permit for a 13-unit family townhouse development.

Mayor Andy Morel said the Copper Road project is near the Redstone Golf Course.

“Down on Redstone, in commercial zoning, just outside the edge of the parking lot, the current parking lot that supports the golf course,” Morel explained.

Morel agreed new housing in small cities where available land is limited and concentrating this project in a small area is an advantage.

“It maximizes land use, which of course is a premium in most communities and it maximizes the use of utilities that obviously the developer is responsible for,” the mayor added, while also pointing out a zoning advantage.

“That zoning allows for short term rentals as well,” said Morel.

“So it will be up to the developer how that will play out, but of course the zoning being the fact that it allows that, it would be similar zoning to what Red Mountain Resort has,” he added.

There are several provisions attached to the development permit including a design that conforms with the community and a letter of credit to act as a deposit.

Rossland City Council has also called a special meeting for Mon May 12 for final consideration of its five-year budget and a proposed 10 per cent municipal tax increase for 2025.
